If we all took the Golden Rule to heart (treat others the way you would like to be treated), Dr. King's dream would be realized much more quickly....

You know how much I believe that, Jen.

Great pics! Thanks to Dr. King for all the social change he fostered.

To Dr. King and everyone of that generation and struggle who taught us so many important lessons through courage, strength and peace...thank you.

We had a whole day of commemorative events for MLK Day here in little old Tifton, including a special speaker at our little downtown theater: GEORGE BUSH!!!















George P. Bush, but still!

Hope everyone had a great MLK day!

I hope everyone has a blessed day and that we remember the words and the dreams of Dr. King not only this day, but everyday

too bad his own idea's, thoughts and desires weren't carried on by those who took over, they only care about themselves and money

Here's Dr. King's "I've Been to the Mountaintop" Speech, the very last speech he would give before he was assassinated.

Agreed, Auntie. And isn't it Lee-Jackson-King day in Virginia?

You know, I hate to say this... But I do agree on this... But on the plus side, what normally takes me 45 mins in the morning to get to work only took me a lil under 30, and what usually takes me an hour to an hour and 10 mins, only took me 45 mins to get home tonight.

Gotta sorta love a city that closes a lot of places for the holiday to make your commute a lot easier and less hectic.

I listened to some of the best stuff on NPR today about MLK Day and some of the kids that were some of the first to break the black/white school that included National Guard Troops, bussing, riots and a whole hell of a lot of UGLY s h i t that was never really reported on the news. I was taken back by people, black and white that still have very profound emotional ties to these times and events. There were a lot of tears, happy and sad tears. The program I listened to was called, “An Imperfect Revolution.” Here’s the link: http://americanradioworks.publicradio.o ... res/deseg/ I don’t think anyone will feel disappointed listening to this.
